I have a very unique name which becomes a “tongue twister” when people have to address me. So they have all devised their own nicknames for me. I am very happy when they address me with this nickname and have become quite used to it. But little did i know that it would lead to so much confusion which I could not even in my wildest dreams anticipate.
Picture a scenario: A person in my organization with whom I interact with (read: talk) on a regular basis, we interact a lot for our official work, lately he is asking me certain queries which are somewhat outside my regular scope of activities but I am accustomed to being asked all sorts of weird queries so I do not mind. So time comes that we need to meet in person and a meeting is fixed. In the meeting the “person” realised that I was not the one he wanted to meet. He was thinking that I was someone else. And when we realised the “gravity” of the situation, we all burst out laughing.
I used to think that such situations are classic “filmy” situations which happen only in reel life and not in real life. But no, I was wrong, such things happen in the life of an “aam aadmi” like me also.
